It's for someone supposedly red on the outside, white on the inside. In APPLE (SKIN TO THE CORE), Eric Gansworth tells his story, the story of his family--of Onondaga among Tuscaroras--of Native folks everywhere. From the horrible legacy of the government boarding schools, to a boy watching his siblings leave and return and leave again, to a young man fighting to be an artist who balances multiple worlds. Eric shatters that slur and reclaims it in verse and prose and imagery that truly lives up to the word heartbreaking.

Reviews
? With language rich in metaphor, this is a timely and important work that begs for multiple readings.-Booklist, starred review Easily one of the best books to be published in 2020. The kind of book bound to save lives. A powerful narrative about identity and belonging. - PASTE MAGAZINE A searing yet dryly funny, at times intimate and at times highly literary picture of life hemmed in by majoritarian expectations and gutted by exploitation that made staying in the family home intolerable but leaving it unthinkable. - BCCB Easily one of the best books to be published in 2020. The kind of book bound to save lives. - LIT HUB Exceptional..A stirring depiction of Indigenous life likely to evoke empathy from and resonate with all who venture into Gansworth's world. - SHELF-AWARENESS (starred review) With language rich in metaphor, this is a timely and important work that begs for multiple readings. - BOOKLIST (starred review) A raw, layered story about love and loss of community, culture, and place.- PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
